CTD Newbie with a P0216

[akinsella]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the TDR and new to owning a CTD so bear with me as this is my first post. Bought a 2002 2500 SLT with 31700 miles about two months ago. Prior to my purchase I did the "cycle the ignition" trick so the odometer would reveal any codes that might be present in the computer, it showed nothing. I recently took the truck on a fishing trip to the San Juan River in New Mexico, truck was fantastic. I was cleaning out the truck tonight and just for grins I decided to cycle the ignition. Odometer came back with P1693 and P0216. The weird thing is that the MIL did not light up whenever the codes were thrown. I see the MIL lit when I click the truck on prior to starting it, but it shuts off after I start the truck. I have been the only person to drive this since I bought it, never seen the MIL lit when the engine is running. Truck starts easy, runs fine, and no loss of power. I searched for P0216 but the posts I read mentioned the MIL being lit. Any ideas why mine is deciding not to light up? Only mod on the truck is a BHAF. I don't have a FP gauge (I know... gauges are next on the list). I plan on changing the fuel filter tomorrow, I know that won’t get rid of the code, it's the only thing I can think of right now. I am not sure if I take it to the dealer that they will blow me off since the MIL is not lit. Also, I bought the truck from a F*rd dealer in town (I think the CTD made their powerjokes look bad ), if anybody in the Denver area reads this, do you recommend a specific Dodge dealer I should see? The closest dealer to me is Johnson Auto Plaza. Sorry for the long post, any advice is appreciated.
